Tw: Blood

Hello everyone, I know I haven't been the most active recently; you guys prolly don't even remember who I am. But surely, you know about the genocide going on in Gaza, and you know the people need your help.

@ahmedmahmoud6reay is vetted, and his campaign still hasn't reached its target; he and his four children are in need of our aid. If you have anything to spare, please help him reach his goal. His gfm is in the link here, thank you so much for your time 🕊️🍉

sometimes i feel like i have to step away for a moment and appreciate the seismic impact that arthureames has had because it’s absolutely mind-boggling and i don’t think i’ve seen another pairing quite like them. 

they only appeared in the movie for about five to ten minutes together but managed to build and sustain an entire fanbase (which is currently still active) for ten years. just that fact alone is perplexing, because there has never been another instance of something quite similar to them. the movie was able to beautifully characterize arthur and eames, as well as their relationship, in those five to ten minutes. complexities and details, a bond built on trust, deep-seated admiration. just think about how nearly every single other fanbase with a long-running pairing has been sustained by more than five to ten minutes of content. inception really took an inch and gave us the whole nine yards. 

not only that, but their influence trickled down into other fanbases from separate movie franchises. correct me if i’m wrong, but i’m certain that blake/bane (joseph gordon-levitt and tom hardy’s characters in the dark knight rises) is a pairing that would not have existed had it not been for inception. besides tdkr, theres content in the arthureames ao3 tag from mad max, mysterious skin, rocknrolla (and probably others), content which is solely there because of jgl and tom hardy’s roles in those films. films that should be completely detached from the characters of arthur and eames, but still manage to feel the second-hand shock waves of inception’s impact. 

it’s utterly fascinating yet baffling because it goes against nearly every other convention i’ve seen in fan culture regarding pairings. arthureames is such a special relationship, a ridiculous phenomenon breaking the limits of the status quo. in many ways like it’s source material, it’s mind-breaking and causes you to question everything you previously knew.

Some thoughts on Koito Otonoshin‘s possible character development.

I’m here stuck on my couch, I’ve almost been through an entire box of tissues and my cat is sleeping on me b/c he thinks me being sick is like winning the owner lotto since I’ve been home with him for the past three days.  I might as well do something, so here is my first attempt at some character analysis on Koito.

Hello, I am Shahd, I am 21 years old, a student at Al-Azhar University. I ask those with compassionate hearts and those who are able to help to help me and my family and save me from this brutal war that is killing innocent people without mercy. They destroyed my house and killed my friend and her family. I saw their remains, crumbled and featureless, some of them burned. These scenes disappear from my mind every minute. I fear seeing one of my family members like this. We are here fighting death and miraculously surviving missiles, lack of food, illness, and lack of medicine. My little sister has contracted hepatitis, and many days have passed while she has been crying. I imagined that she would die at any moment. A moment in Gaza, there are no necessities for life. There is smoke and fire, an epidemic of hunger and poverty. I am crying as I write this letter to you. I ask you to look at us with your merciful eyes and extend a helping hand to me. No matter how simple your donation is, for me this thing is large and valuable. With your blessings, you will save the soul of a person and an entire family from... Illness and death. I wish to spread my message more widely. We are not numbers, we are many stories

Miles Edgeworth's Secret

This post is purely for documentation purposes, and also to inform anyone who may not be aware. This post will contain SPOILERS for the end of Phoenix Wright: Trials & Tribulations, so proceed with caution.

During Case 5, Bridge to the Turnabout, while playing as Edgeworth, you are presented the opportunity to peer into Iris' heart. Specifically in regards to a secret she is withholding from Phoenix, someone she was romantically involved with. During which, if the player fails to present the correct evidence specifically for the second Psyche-Lock, an interesting conversation concerning the nature of secrets occurs.

I have seen talk of this dialogue, but no footage or screenshots, so I took the liberty of getting them myself. The full conversation and my further thoughts will be found under the cut.

You MUST present incorrect evidence during the second Psyche-Lock. This dialogue is laughably easy to miss, which is why I could find zero footage of it. (Sorry if the formatting for this sucks)

(Interesting to note: the music stops playing here.)

Incidentally, Iris' secret is that she developed romantic feelings for Phoenix while dating him in college (disguised as her twin sister). Edgeworth affirms her thoughts, confirming that he does indeed have a secret of similar nature deep within his heart and soul; "It takes one to know one." It cannot be said what exactly this secret of his is, but every real plot point behind Edgeworth has been more or less resolved by this point in the series. He found his path as a prosecutor, the truth behind his involvement in the DL-6 incident was concluded, so... What's left? Reading between the lines, this only really seems to lead us to one answer. It has something to do with romantic feelings. I truly can't see it being anything else, even with a critical mind.

Just mere moments ago, Iris had inquired as to what Edgeworth and Phoenix' relationship was. Edgeworth (famously) responds that Wright is a "dear and indispensable friend". Wonder if Iris gleamed something deeper from that comment, then? ;P Keep in mind: she makes these comments directly because Edgeworth avoided presenting Phoenix Wright's profile.

"he just like me fr" - iris probably

Now, just for completion's sake, let's see what happens when you present Phoenix's profile and break the Psyche-Lock.

I have a lot of thoughts regarding this string of text from the two of them. This is a huge reach from an admittedly shipper-crazed brain, but aren't Edgeworth's retorts here... interesting? He does not know this girl, but he knows that the two of them are important to one another. We can assume it's likely that he is pushing for this for Wright's sake, rather than Iris'. At this point it's fair to say that Edgeworth has some basic understanding of her secret (the feelings, at least), and he doesn't benefit from her telling Phoenix her secret. So why is he adamant that she does it? Especially when he's, apparently, holding a secret of similar nature himself? Projecting, perhaps?

"But it's pointless..." "Why would you say that?"

Why indeed.

(EDIT) I was thinking about this feverishly, and I had another thought. What if the "darkness in his heart" and his "secret" has something to do with jealousy? Still in context of romantic feelings... it starts to make sense that this could fit into the puzzle as well. By this point it was already established to Edgeworth that Phoenix and Iris share an intimate connection of some kind, and with all of this pressuring (including the words the two of them share before Edgeworth leaves the Detention Centre), it sort of adds up. "Uncovering the truth" in order to "get rid of the deep-seated darkness in [his] heart" - could this refer to closure? As in, if Iris comes forth to Phoenix Wright with her secret, and there is some level of reciprocation, would this make Edgeworth's own secret/feelings "pointless" to confess? I wonder.

One last note I'd like to make is that this is the first time we view Edgeworth through the 'protagonist lens', and that a great deal of care was put into having the player truly feel like they are Miles Edgeworth in this moment. His mannerisms, choice of words and thought patterns are decidedly very different than Phoenix's when you are in control of them, as I'm sure most people would agree. Therefore, I feel comfortable proposing that a lot of what he says here isn't filler, and in fact is very deliberately worded.

I think this post also deserves a spot here.

Diehard Narumitsu/Wrightworth shippers are likely already aware of this conversation's existence. However, due to the circumstances necessary to see it, I wasn't able to find any screenshots. I hope this was interesting to read, at least... Thanks for reading!
